[Genome] gene clusters in genome browser

Hello Philippe,

	You are correct, you cannot directly query a gene cluster on the Genome 
Browser.  You can, however, search for partial gene names and get a list of 
matches.  For example, search for "PCDHG" and you will see a list of hits like so:

PCDHGC3 (NM_032403) at chr5:140835753-140872730 - protocadherin gamma subfamily 
C, 3 isoform 3
PCDHGC3 (NM_032402) at chr5:140835753-140838546 - protocadherin gamma subfamily 
C, 3 isoform 2
PCDHGB7 (NM_032101) at chr5:140777466-140780179 - protocadherin gamma subfamily 
B, 7 isoform 2
PCDHGB6 (NM_032100) at chr5:140767954-140770416 - protocadherin gamma subfamily 
B, 6 isoform 2
PCDHGA11 (NM_032092) at chr5:140780721-140872730 - protocadherin gamma subfamily 
A, 11 isoform 3
PCDHGA11 (NM_032091) at chr5:140780721-140783837 - protocadherin gamma subfamily 
A, 11 isoform
< and so on... >

	You can also type part of the gene description into the search box.  For 
example: "protocadherin gamma", to see a list of genes that include those words 
in their description.

	I know that this isn't really what you're looking for, I just wanted to point 
out that you can enter partial gene names/descriptions in the search box.

	We do have the gene cluster information available, it is just not searchable in 
the browser.  It is located in an underlying table in the hg18 database called 
knownCanonical.  If you are interested in querying this table to find out about 
gene clusters, please write back to me with your specific needs, and I will 
explain the table relationships to you.
